I've been dying for something like this. Since switching to Apple laptops, I can do nothing but listen wistfully as my friends talk about how much they love Steam. The screenshots of Skyrim I see in online reviews don't look anything like the game I play on my Xbox360.
The problem is, I can't imagine playing video games on any screen but a TV or in any setting but the couch. I could probably build a PC box and hook it up to the TV on my own, but I'd much rather just buy something ready to go out of the box. A console with current hardware and a PC-like gaming experience is just what the doctor ordered!
- jiggy2011 14y agoCan't you dual boot Windows on your mac, plug a 360 controller in via USB and dvi/hdmi out to the TV?
- mburshteyn 14y agoSo many cords and things to install. I've become really lazy when it comes to games. Part of me just wants to play a game without putting in work to do so.
- jiggy2011 14y agoWell, plug in one cord and use a wireless controller.
- ceras 14y agoI think HN and Reddit really underestimate just how much of a bother many of us find hooking things up like that. This sounds like an amazing idea to me too: I am definitely a target consumer, and I by no means lack tech saviness.
